A Feminist Reading Of Dh Lawrences - 1,932 words
A Feminist Reading of D.H. Lawrences The Rocking
Horse Winner The man that does not know sick women
does not know women. - S. Weir Mitchell "The
Rocking Horse Winner" is the story of a boys gift
for picking the winners in horse races. An
omniscient narrator relates the tale of a boy
whose family is always short of money. His mother
is incapable of showing love and is obsessed with
the status that material wealth can provide. This
paper will explore the premise that D.H. Lawrence
presented the figure of the mother as the villain;
a loathsome, unloving character with no commitment
to genuine values. This evil mother figure will
ultimately be the "male-destroyer" by turning her
"nameless" husba ...

Noir It is world of dark rooms with light slicing
through venetian blinds, alleys cluttered with
garbage, abandoned warehouses where dust hangs in
the air, rain-slickened streets with water still
running in the gutters, dark detective officers
overlooking busy streets. These are the qualities
that makes film noir a perfect blend of form and
content, where the desperation and hopelessness of
situations is reflected in the visual style, which
drenches the world in shadows and has only a few
occasional bursts of sunlight. Film noir,
occasionally acerbic, usually cynical, often
enthralling, gives us characters trying to elude
some kind of mysterious ...

Autumn Sonata (1978) and From the Life of the

office. Fanny and Alexander (1983), a rich and
fantastic portrait of childhood in a theatrical
family, was regarded as one of his finest films
and won an Academy Award for best foreign language

Balzacs Pessimistic View Of Nineteenth Century Society - 1,752 words
Balzac's Pessimistic View of Nineteenth Century
Society Le Colonel Chabert exhibits the
relationship between strong and weak characters.
The degree of strength within a character reflects
how well the character survives in society. In
society, weak characters often have no identity,
profession or rank. Stronger characters have power
to succeed from inner confidence, motivation and
ambition. Any drastic changes brought to the body
or soul by the environment corrupts that person's
strength thereby affecting their ability to
function properly in society. This comparison of
characters gives an understanding of Balzac's
pessimistic view of nineteenth century society. A
character's strength and en ...

Generally Speaking There Are Certain Constants One Can Expect Form A Noir Film Typically A Noir Film Has A Plot Which Depicts - 1,321 words
Generally speaking there are certain constants one
can expect form a noir film. Typically a noir film
has a plot which depicts the dark and inhumane
side of human nature with cynicism, and with
emphasis on the brutal, unhealthy, shadowy, dark
and sadistic sides of the human experience. In a
film like Chinatown (1974), a modern-day film
noirthriller, the criteria of the dark side of
society is fulfilled by Jake's investigation of
the deceiving world of high crime. Through
hard-boiled character of Jake Gittes the audience
is shown the facade that hides what is sinister
and the corrupt in bleak world of noir.
Nevertheless this dark element in the film
contributes to a greater metaphoric symbol ...

separations, while Pierre did the measurements
after each successive step. Physically it was
heavy work for Marie. She processed 20 kilos of
raw material at a time. She had to clear away pine
needles and debris, then she had to undertake the
work of separation. In that shed they performed
their experience and Marie writes that they spent
the best times of their lives. Sometimes they
could not do their processing outdoors, so the
harmful gases had to be let out through the open
windows. The only furniture was an old, worn pine
table where Marie worked with her costly radium

Medea And Chorus - 529 words
Medea And Chorus The exchange that takes place
between Medea and the Chorus serves several
purposes in Euripides' tragedy, The Medea. It
allows us to sympathize with Medea in spite of her
tragic flaws. It also foreshadows the tragic
events that will come to pass. Finally, it
contrasts rationality against vengeance and
excess. The Chorus offers the sane view of the
world to the somewhat insane characters of Medea,
Jason, and Creon. As the passage begins on page
176, the leader of the Chorus reveals that she has
high regards for Medea despite the fact that she
is "savage still." She acknowledges Medea as a
foreigner and an outsider and yet is sympathetic
towards her. This alliance is apparentl ...
